In reply to JohnV:
> With flights I reckon a trip to Kyrgystan could be done for £700- could a Norway trip come in at that price? Any suggestions on a 'cheap' Norway trip?
I believe it could...
Get flights to Troms (with Norwegian via Oslo). And pack a lot of food with ya.
Get a bus from the airport to Kvaloya (it's a city bus, so not much dough) and do some touring there (a few days, sleep in the tent).
Then take a bus to Lyngen peninsula and do lots there (again, sleep in the tent or in a few of the huts, which were like 20 NOK per person per night).
Other option would be actually northern Sweden (Kebnekaise region) for ski-touring and Narvik (NOR) + Riksgränsen (SWE) for more free skiing kind of day tours. Sleeping still in the tent, so free. A rental car might be more adviced for this option (Flight to Narvik Eveness airport).
